Stephen Colber Show cancelled after mocking a Trump bribe

[kiaghi7]

At what point are you going to realize that I didn't specifically say you were wrong [...inane drivel]

Thank you for admitting I was entirely, completely, and 100% correct and admitting that you and Blaze were entirely, complete, and 100% wrong, as always.

Way to prove my point. When you googled evidence, everything AI spat out at you was..........testimony. It's almost like testimony and claims are evidence!

Yes, Cosby's admission was foundational, but:
A) It was brought up AFTER years and years of women filing claims. If those claims didn't happen, that foundational evidence would never have come up again and he'd still be selling pudding pops.
B) Cosby testifying that he drugged women is still fucking testimony.

Odd claim, given I proved you don't know what you're talking about, and have no evidence whatsoever, and I furthermore had to teach you what the actual evidence against Cosby was and how it was used most crucially his ADMISSION OF GUIILT, all for you to ultimately concede my point, and your buddy who was trying to defend you to throw you under the bus while admitting I was in fact correct from the beginning.

You need to immediately consult with Cosby's lawyers and get the case re-tried, because obviously, you know more than any of them do, you've told us as much.

ahhh yes, then routine retort of one without evidence... it would seem the one operating in bad faith is you, as always.

As always you and your little comrades are wrong. The waffling and flooding wirh meaningless nonsense on your part is always a certainty.

Colbert debunked all these ridiculous claims of his show losing money yesterday, and i trust him over a bunch of spineless corpos, considering his show was consistently #1 in rating and Dump couldn't restrain himself from gloating about it. Stewart also debunked beautifully all this "financially unviable" nonsense.

More importantly, even if CBS / paramount decision was, in fact purely financial, their timing couldn't have been worse. So it's on them for creating this "ambiguity" (I don't believe it's ambiguous at all and they're just bending the knee like the cowards they are, but who knows).

If you say I'm 100% wrong because I said you weren't necessarily wrong....

Good God are MAGA stupid.....

The show’s been painfully unfunny for a very, very long time, I can only assume that viewership was in the dumps. It’s no surprise that the show’s cancelled, it was reportedly losing 40 mil a year.

https://www.reuters.com/business/me...-casualty-late-night-tvs-fade-out-2025-07-19/

It’s 100% a financial decision, per CBS. The show doesn’t resonate enough with the audience to be profitable.

I will just lean back until Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and basically every other left-leaning host will share the same fate eventually. This will be the time when Donny Krasnov will post on Truth Social about all of this and when he will start to brag about "his personal achievement in getting these guys removed" (because yeah, obviously he's a weak coward and a thin-skinned snowflake in need of his safe space). I will then come back to this thread and remind you about the statement you gave. Meanwhile I'm shaking my head in disbelieve how obviously at least half of the US population isn't able to see fascism even if it's directly in front of their eyes.

It's pretty funny how they cancelled his show, but bought the streaming rights to South Park for 1.5bil. Imo, they way overpaid, but imo, South Park is way more valuable than some dying late night comedy show.

Also, imo, South Park hasn't been good since like 2005. Randy and PC Principal are really funny though. lol

If Trump manages to single-handedly remove all unfunny Late Night hosts from live television, we’ll need to invent some kind of new, special award for tireless and exceptional service to the nation, and the world at large. I don’t know what’s an appropriate display of gratitude for cancelling shit content. A Brown Heart, maybe.

To be specific, I mean exclusively Earth terrestrial television. I am in support of shooting unfunny comedians directly to the Moon. I imagine lunar television could be an effective deterrent against hostile alien incursions, should these ever manifest. We can never be sure if we’re alone in the universe or not, best if we start preparing early. I’ve seen Independence Day, I know what these creatures can do.

You MAGAs are so weird lmao

You make a great point, some of these conditions are unnecessary. While people do pay for cable, so technically they are asking for the shit content, actually serving it to them is definitely some kind of consumer rights violation, so narrowing the scope down to terrestrial broadcasts is unfair. Satellite, while originating from space, is in fact aimed at Earth, so it could be classified as reckless broadcast of shit content - it puts anyone on the planet in danger of viewing it. Streaming is *technically* not television, but it’s covered within the spirit of the suggestion because it’s a shit motion picture that can be inflicted upon innocent viewers. The new moon-based Earth Defense Force should encompass any shit broadcasters who are viewable on planet Earth in general, regardless of medium.

As I said before, and per CBS themselves, the show was losing stacks of money, viewership has greatly declined and they made a purely financial decision. This is not surprising given the quality of the content. Conspiracy theories are conspiracy theories regardless of which side of the political spectrum happens to be spinning out on the Internet and looking real silly. What happened to “it’s a private company, they can do what they want”? Paramount, a private entity, has decided to axe the show. That’s the end of it, they don’t owe Colbert air time, *whatever* their motivation may be. Good luck to Stephen, I hope he’ll find employment soon. Hopefully not in comedy, since he lost that skill a good decade ago, but I hear the service industry is always hiring. Maybe he can slap together a funny burger.

Alternatively, my lunar offer stands. I hear Amazon has a funny-shaped rocket they could load full of unfunny comedians, let them perform one last funny skit before we never see them again.

Colbert debunked the claims, but the finances are at the crux here and not even Colbert has access to CBS/Skydance's books, so anything he's claiming is pulled out of his posterior.

Even Snopes is hedging their bets as inconclusive for Colbert's claims.

No debunking, merely lashing out as he does.

But yet again, you're choosing to red herring your way out of providing evidence, which you are yet to do as I have provided, repeatedly now.

If you say I'm 100% wrong because I said you weren't necessarily wrong....

Good God are MAGA stupid.....

Well, thank you for admitting that I was not wrong, but as I have repeatedly said on these forums before, just because I may disagree with you, does not make me MAGA.

It's odd that you would automatically assume that just because someone has a different position, that automatically there is only one other possible ideology that exists in the entire world that they could possibly hold.

 

[Foxi4]

The show reportedly cost $100 million to produce annually, $20 million of that was his salary. Just by axing him alone and replacing him with a chicken CBS stood a chance at slashing their losses in half with no noticeable decrease in quality. Jokes aside, if this figure is true, the show was a 40% loss for the company. If Forbes is to be believed, late night ad revenue in general dropped by half in a noticeable downward trend over the last couple of years. This format is simply dying a slow death and the writing is on the wall.

Yes, you are the one who should educate yourself, because:

Please note that part where Cosby's own ADMISSION OF GUILT was used as foundational evidence against him, and thus a pattern of behavior was established.

hey man I'm down to clown on Bill "Struggle for me" Cosby any day but you gotta not use ANY AI thing ever, for any reason

Why would he admit he's losing money? It's a bad image for him to say his own show is a failure now, of course he would blame Trump to avoid taking responsibility himself

Claiming that the closedown of this show is due to Trump is something akin to

1) Collect Underpants
2) ?
3) Profit!

What you're missing is evidence of the "?" part, i.e. causation. All you've got is an unsupported inference. Of course that doesn't mean, hypothetically of course, that some proof of what you're claiming won't surface someday. If it ever does, post a new thread or bump this one. There's nothing to talk about now. Nothing that's worth reading.

 

[Xzi]

What happened to “it’s a private company, they can do what they want”?

Clearly not, since this is the third or fourth network the Trump administration has gone after for criticizing them. Nobody's buying the "coincidence" angle when the cancellation was announced just two days after Colbert criticized the network for their bribe paid to king pedo himself. CBS would have a strong case to present to the supreme court if they really wanted to, but a nutless sack of shit like Les Moonves can't be the one expected to champion the first amendment.

There's also no denying the pattern here, since Trump has already reset his sights on forcing the Washington Commanders to change their name back to the old racist one before he'll approve their plans for a new stadium in DC. His priority is getting the entirety of the news and entertainment industries to bend the knee, rather than doing anything remotely positive for the American people. Dementia has yet to wipe away his D-list celebrity mindset, it's pathetic that he still considers himself a part of that world.

Fascism is when a private company pulls the plug on a show that’s consistently losing money, apparently. Even *assuming* that everything that’s alleged is completely true and Paramount is just doing this as some kind of unprompted appeasement strategy ahead of a merger approval, they’re a private entity and they’re absolutely entitled to do that. It is *not* a violation of Colbert’s first amendment rights because CBS is not the government. I’ve been told this over and over again for years and all of a sudden when it’s a left-leaning host it doesn’t apply? I think not. I want to see a threatening letter on White House stationary written in Trump’s funny scrawl saying “Guys, that Colbert guy? He’s just not funny. Not funny at all. The ratings, they are poor. We all know they’re poor, my experts tell me they’re poor. We can’t approve the merger unless you get rid of that guy, and confiscate his coat while you’re at it” or it’s a non-starter of a conversation. In fact, if that piece of evidence were to materialise, it’d be the funniest thing that happened on late night in two decades, which wouldn’t be surprising since Trump would be directly involved in this devious, dastardly Hanna-Barbera-style scheme. I doubt that’s the case because Colbert wasn’t tied to a train track in the path of the world’s slowest train as a direct consequence, at least that we know of.

You’ve got it all wrong - he still has his “you’re fired” line from The Apprentice, it always working was part of his contract. True story, he can point his finger at anyone and say those words, and like a magic spell, poof! They’re fired.

Can't fire the majority of his own supporter base, either. How they didn't come to the obvious conclusion presented by this open secret a decade ago is beyond me, but at least they're staying persistent in hounding him over a broken campaign promise for once.
